Luke 8:50

50 Iesus autem audito hoc verbo respondit patri puellae noli timere crede tantum et salva erit

Luke 8:50 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:50

But when Jesus heard it
The message that was brought to the ruler, and the hint that was given, that it was needless to give him any further trouble:

he answered him;
not the messenger, but the father of the child, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read:

saying, fear not:
do not be dismayed at this message, nor despair of help, notwithstanding such is the case:

believe only, and she shall be made whole;
exercise faith in me, that I am able to raise her from the dead, and I will do it; and she shall be restored to life, and to perfect health and strength again.

Luke 8:50 In-Context

48 at ipse dixit illi filia fides tua te salvam fecit vade in pace

49 adhuc illo loquente venit a principe synagogae dicens ei quia mortua est filia tua noli vexare illum

50 Iesus autem audito hoc verbo respondit patri puellae noli timere crede tantum et salva erit

51 et cum venisset domum non permisit intrare secum quemquam nisi Petrum et Iohannem et Iacobum et patrem et matrem puellae

52 flebant autem omnes et plangebant illam at ille dixit nolite flere non est mortua sed dormit
